We generally shield you from this.  That is, you create objects without
having to worry about.  But a) casts (particularly implicit ones) and b) the
wrap() return business are really complicated.

If you err on the side of caution everything works:

R> cppFunction("IntegerVector myrunif() { NumericVector x = floor(runif(1000000)); return as<IntegerVector>(x); }")
R> for (i in 1:100) ignoreme <- myrunif()
R> 

Here we start with the numeric vector, then cast to an integer vector which
is what is returned.
